Zongman Invasion: I Can Absorb Others' Abilities

"That's fine!" Chen Xiaowan looked at little Annie in the hanging window and noticed the little girl's uneasiness. Women's natural maternal love began to emerge, so she stood up and walked to the coffee shop.

Lu Xiaobu kept watching Chen Xiaowan go away, then contacted Anthony and started communicating, "Big brother, you have to give me an explanation."

"Yes, I will definitely give you an explanation. Thank you for taking in my child!" Anthony was emotional.

Lu Xiaobu adjusted his sitting position, leaning his back on the sofa to make himself more comfortable, and communicated with Anthony from his heart, "Why did you say that little Annie is your child?"

'You mentioned before that little Annie was in unstable condition. What's going on?'

Anthony sighed sadly.

"I have been dead for a long time, and some of my memories are missing. I can't answer you too many questions about ancient taboos, which will bring disaster to you and your friends. Believe me, friend, when you

When I killed my enemies with my own hands, I never thought of deceiving you."

Anthony's evasive words made Lu Xiaobu's inner doubts not lessened at all. On the contrary, he felt even more doubtful, but he felt sincerity from Anthony's sincere words.

"I can believe everything you say, but I need to clear up my doubts. At the same time, let my companions believe that everything I do now is beneficial to them. I think you can understand my difficulty." Although Lu Xiaobu believed in Anthony's words

, but he needs to give himself and the captain a reasonable reason.

"There are some things about who I am and the historical fog buried in the city of Greater London that I cannot tell you in words. But I can solve for you a mystery about the environment you and your friends are in now.

."

"As for the news about other Scale Feathers, you may be able to find some clues in the notebook I gave you. As for my child, I can tell you her current condition, but I hope you can treat her well. In the future, she may

It will bring good luck to you and your companions."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

"The diary I gave to my little friend, have you ever read it?"

"Well……"

When Lu Xiaobu heard this, his claws were a little numb. He turned over and turned over the diaries, but when he saw those mindless diaries, he just thought it was the big brother talking to himself. He flipped through a few pages and didn't pay attention.

Why is it that now that I heard what the other party meant, there was incredible information recorded in Sihu's diary?

He hesitated and explained in a slightly embarrassed manner, "I haven't been idle all the time, I just turned a few pages. Big brother, does this have anything to do with what you are talking about?"

"Oh! Where did you see it?" Anthony continued to ask without thinking too much.

"I saw you wrote that you were sent by your teacher to explore an ancient place." Lu Xiaobu blushed with embarrassment.

"If it is somewhere, everything can be easily explained." Anthony was in a trance, as if he had returned to the cold winter of Old Clinton in 1841.

"Because I have a solid foundation in related studies and have some extraordinary abilities, I have always been very familiar with some historical monuments. That year, I was specially sent by my teacher to conduct excavation work at an ancient ruin excavated somewhere."

"I originally thought it was my lucky day to be recognized by the teacher, but later, I realized that my classmates and I were all deceived by the teacher's kind-hearted appearance."

"They are doing a deed that will be punished by God."

When Lu Xiaobu heard this, his mind flashed back to the fragmented information he had seen in his diary, and he was shocked: "You are referring to the things they excavated, not the actual archaeological excavation?"

Academic research, but for another purpose?"

"Yes, he cheated on me and all of us."

Anthony sighed slightly, "The school and many professors who are dedicated to academic research were all deceived by my teacher's hypocrisy. The ancient ruins he excavated were an ancient sacrificial tomb complex, and there was something terrible buried inside."

"At that time, many people had died one after another during the excavation process, but we thought it was some kind of bacterial virus leaking and there was no need to be overly vigilant. But now that we think about it, this is actually the purpose of the teacher. Those who died,

In the end, it all became the nourishment of that taboo.”

"He wants to resurrect the forbidden thing."

Lu Xiaobu suddenly asked, "What is the taboo thing you are referring to?"

"Shh!"

Anthony suddenly made a hissing gesture, "Don't say it, don't talk about it, don't think about it, otherwise, you will be in great trouble."

Lu Xiaobu was startled, thinking that Anthony was exaggerating, but then he thought about it and realized that it was right to be careful, so he remained silent and did not interrupt randomly.

Although he was dubious, he still asked some questions that he had been unable to answer in his heart, "The taboo thing you are referring to, is it causing the strange state of the city in front of you?"

"Yes! When it absorbed enough nutrients, it caused the fall of Old Linton. But the strange city you are in now has other forbidden things. It has been affecting you all the time."

Lu Xiaobu understood. Although more questions arose in his heart, he knew that with his current knowledge and vision, one question would only be followed by more doubts, so he simply did not dwell on it, changed the subject, and brought it up.

For other questions, I hope the other party can help him clear up his doubts.

"How much do you know about Yinquan Hotel?"

When Anthony heard this, he sighed melancholy, "There, the danger to you and even your companions is far greater than your benefits."

"Do you really know it?" Lu Xiaobu was shocked.

He originally thought that Anthony gave him the card in order to take revenge for paying him in advance, but now, it seemed that there was another reason.

"Back then! After the fall of Old Linton, one of the few places that was not shrouded in mystery was the Yinquan Hotel. However, it was not called that name at the time."

"Oh? What's its name?" Lu Xiaobu was surprised, once again hearing top-secret information that was extremely difficult for the outside world to find out.

"Initially, its name was 'Yingquan Mansion'."

"Yingquan Mansion?"

"Yes, Yingquan Mansion. It is a place where upper-class dignitaries and nobles communicate. It was not until they appeared later that the place was forced to change its name to Yinquan Hotel."

"they?"

Lu Xiaobu's sharp ears immediately sensed something unusual.

"Yes, they are a group of creatures from another world. They do not belong to us humans. It was then that I discovered the true identity of my teacher. He is worthy of being a human teacher and worthy of being respected by everyone in my old town.

Elder status.”

The more Lu Xiaobu listened, the more he felt that the topic had strayed. He decisively turned back and inquired: "But what does the existence of this city have to do with what you are talking about? If what my companion said is true, this city is boundless.

, is divided into outer ring and inner ring, it seems that it cannot be connected in series with what you said."

Anthony was slightly startled. After a while, he cleared his mind and slowly explained:

"I can't provide you with any more references. After the fall of Old Linton, I stayed at Yingquan Mansion for a period of time, serving those dignitaries. Later, I was betrayed by my old friend. The history of the future

, I don’t know very well.”

Lu Xiaobu understood. No wonder he was confused by some of the things Anthony told. It turned out that the other person was just talking about a period of history that he was familiar with. As for what happened in Old Linton later, he was dead, so what could he know?

?

"You just mentioned Yingquan Mansion, which is now the Yinquan Hotel. He is dangerous to me and my companions? Are you familiar with the place?"

"Well! I am indeed slightly familiar with it. After all, I have worked there."

"Oh, can you tell me more specifically? My partners, they found some clues from certain places and confirmed it from many aspects. It seems that there are some incredible treasures hidden there."

"That's it! I understand." Anthony showed a hint of surprise, and then talked about some old things in the early years of Yingquan Mansion.

It turns out that after the fall of Old Linton, death and malignant infectious diseases appeared on a large scale. Even plants and animals could not escape the bad luck.

By chance, Anthony entered Yingquan Mansion due to his extraordinary talent and narrowly escaped death.

Here, there are dignitaries everywhere, and his status as a student at Shenghui College seems so inconspicuous.

In order to make a living, he had no choice but to become a handyman, and later helped cook in the kitchen until he became a chef respected by everyone.

And the treasures mentioned by Chen Xiaowan and others do exist in Anthony's words. Because of the special architecture of Yingquan Mansion, there is something extraordinary. It is not unexplainable that many dignitaries who fled there in the past took some valuable treasures with them and hid them nearby.

In 1881, old Lingtong was still in a state of prevailing capitalism, where the aristocracy was noble and the poor were humble. Nowadays, high-rise buildings are standing there, ushering in the explosion of science and technology. A few of them have passed 4 to 500 years ago.

The nobles who were lucky enough to survive back then left some few words and even treasure maps to their descendants before they died, which can be explained with difficulty.

"I see!"

Lu Xiaobu suddenly realized, "So, the treasure the captain talks about is really true. But what is the danger you talk about?"

"they."

"they?"

"Yes, those special beings who established Yingquan Mansion. They are extremely tolerant of aliens, but for humans, they are regarded as domestic animals and can be killed at will. Are you sure where you want to risk going?"

Lu Xiaobu blinked his eyes, looking slightly confused. This was another person who touched upon his blind spot of knowledge.

"Little friend! I know you are curious about them, and even the purpose of their appearance is just like all the nobles and forces in Old Lington, but all those who tried to explore them are already dead. So, listen to me, don't try to explore

That kind of existence.”

"I understand! But my partners, they have their own reasons for going on adventures." Lu Xiaobu nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.

Anthony heard the firmness in Lu Xiaobu's words, and sighed slightly, "I can't help you much, because it's been too long, and some of my friends may no longer be here. But..."

Lu Xiaobu was a little disappointed at first. After all, as far as he knew about the Yinquan Hotel, apart from this big brother, he probably couldn't find anyone who was so honest and could trust what he said.

However, when he heard "but", his eyes lit up instantly, as if he was waiting expectantly.

"But! I still barely remember the internal architectural structure diagram of that year, maybe it can help you a little. After all, I have been here for a long time, and even if I want to forget it, I won't be able to forget it for a while."

Lu Xiaobu was overjoyed, "I really have to thank Big Brother."

"I'm very grateful to you for taking good care of little Annie for me." Anthony felt a sense of guilt for his concern for little Annie.

The topic turned to little Annie, and Lu Xiaobu couldn't help but turn his head and look inside the display window.

While the two were talking, Chen Xiaowan and Little Annie were already getting along. The two were chatting and laughing, and they were so happy. There was no such sly smile or weird demeanor as Little Annie had earlier.

Lu Xiaobu withdrew his gaze, adjusted his sitting posture, leaned on the back of the sofa, communicated in his mind, and asked: "You mentioned that little Annie's condition is unstable before, what do you mean specifically?"

Anthony suddenly fell silent, as if he was immersed in some kind of memory and guilt. After a while, he looked sad and slowly said: "Actually, she is already dead. She has been dead for a long, long time."

"Huh?" Although Lu Xiaobu had already guessed it, he still looked sad when he heard the news.

Apart from her early weirdness, little Annie is actually more like a poor child who has no playmates, is somewhat autistic, and has a sensitive and fragile heart.

Even worse than left-behind children.

"What do you mean?" he asked humbly.

"At that time, although I was betrayed by my best friend, I had extraordinary abilities and controlled the bone-crushing knife in my hand. They had no choice but to imprison me."

"But! One day, they said that I still had flesh and blood and was living outside, and they used this to threaten me. I didn't believe it at the time. I, Anthony, was obsessed with academic research, and I only had one girlfriend, so where did I get it from?

flesh and blood?"

Lu Xiaobu listened quietly.

"But later, I found out that I was wrong, very wrong. They brought an old photo, and behind the photo they wrote a paragraph in small Chinese characters. Only then did I realize that a long time ago, she and I had an affair after being drunk.

Something that transcends.”

"We have a child! But I didn't know about it until she mentioned the family's plight and hoped that I could help them."

"She, is she the goddess Nana you are talking about?" Lu Xiaobu couldn't help but interject.

"Yes! It's her."

Lu Xiaobu was stunned, "She is still alive, but you..."

He couldn't accept it or understand it for a while.

The current time in Paradise City is 2217, which is 333 years away from 1884. Is she still alive?

"I'm not sure about some things, because I've never left Yingquan Mansion since I entered it." Anthony also didn't understand whether the goddess Nana mentioned by Lu Xiaobu was the woman he was looking for.

She gave birth to a daughter for herself, but at the same time, she betrayed herself with her best friend, and he also had too many doubts.

This makes sense! - Lu Xiaobu nodded slightly, "You said that little Annie has been dead for a long time. How did you come to this conclusion?"

"Connected by blood! That was a kind of reminder in my mind when little Annie was in trouble after I became extraordinary."

Lu Xiaobu was slightly stunned, but it seemed that this kind of thing could be explained by the mysterious extraordinary ability.
